Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Whenever we’re blessed to receive the spiritual nourishment that Jesus gives, we’re fully satisfied. When Jesus is the host, no guest leaves empty. Our minds are satisfied with the truth Christ reveals; our hearts are content with Jesus; our hope is fulfilled because we have no one in Heaven but Jesus,
and our desires are completely satisfied because we want nothing more than “to know Christ and be found in Him.” Jesus fills our conscience with peace, our judgment with the certainty of His teachings, our memory with reminders of what He has done, and our imagination with the promise of what He will do.

Isn’t that verse from Psalm 103 sweet: “He crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies”? The Lord makes kings of all His saints and adorns them with something far better than golden crowns.
"My crown is in my heart, not on my head; Not decked with
diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen; my crown is called content: A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy."
